- In the United Arab Emirates, heavy thunderstorms rains on Tuesday caused the cancellation of several flights and significant damage accoss the country.
According to the National Centre of Meteorology, it was the largest amount of rainfall over a 24 hour period since records began in 1949.
Homes and roads were flooded, and ‘partially’ submerged cars were left abandoned. The tarmac at Dubai International Airport was also flooded as planes made their way around what looked more like a lake.
In Nigeria, The Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof. Joseph Utsev, has called on Nigerians to take proactive measures to address the potential flooding risks, with 31 states and 148 local government councils that have been identified as vulnerable.
The high flood risk states include: Adamawa, Akwa-Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto among others
In the United Kingdom, Two Nigerian professors, Olutayo Adesina and Abubakar Sani, have been awarded £1.7 million pounds in research grants, by the British Academy to undertake research projects on Nigeria’s historical and cultural domain.
Adesina and Sani, along with eight other professors from across the world, were announced as recipients of the British Academy Global Professorships Award, which aims to foster collaboration between leading international researchers and UK-based institutions.
Dr Adesina who is a Professor of History; at the University of Ibadan, received £879 thousands pounds to work with the University of Manchester during his study, which is to begin this year, While Abubakar Sule Sani who is a Professor of Archaeology at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, received £892 thousand pounds for his research project with the University of East Anglia.
Former Enugu State governor, Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo has stirred up a debate online after he stated during an interview, that the igbos created many states in Nigeria, including Lagos and Kano.
Dr Okwesilieze spoke to Symfoni TV, where he also address several issues including what he termed as the marginalization of the igbos.
The Kaduna State House of Assembly on Tuesday, set up a 13-member fact-finding committee to investigate financial transactions, loans, grants and project executions under the eight-year administration of former governor Nasir el-Rufai.
During a special session, House speaker, Hon. Yusuf Liman moved the motion on matters of public importance, asking the House to investigate the loans borrowed by the former governor, stressing that it was important for the people of the state to know how the loans were used.
The Kano state anti-corruption and public complaints commission has brought fresh charges against the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The chair of the anti-graft agency said the commission is investigating a case in which the Ganduje administration allegedly diverted N51 billion Naira.
The commission also stated that during the twilight of the ‘Ganduje administration, N1 billion Naira was withdrawn from the state's accounts for road rehabilitation, but the sum was allegedly diverted.
In Niger state, Governor Umar Bago, has issued a “shoot at sight” order to security operatives in the state, amid heightened insecurity, and has also declared a state of emergency, after two persons were killed during an attack by thugs in Minna, the state’s capital.
Governor Bago gave the orders while speaking with journalists during the annual durbar festival on Sunday.
The governor blamed the unrest on artisanal miners, adding that “maximum force” has been adopted to tackle the situation
Just days after popular cross dresser, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison, for abusing the Naira, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday, filed a three-count charge against famous nightlife promoter, Pascal Okechukwu also known as ‘Cubana Chief Priest for alleged abuse of the Naira.
The anti-graft agency in a statement released on Sunday, had said that it is investigating several celebrities who may have been involved in currency abuse, Cubanna chief priest was accused of spraying and tampering with the naira at a social event on February 13th 2024, at Eko Hotel, in the tune of N500,000, a crime punishable under Section 21 of the CBN Act 2007. He was also accused of spraying money back in in 2020.

Thanks Rufai for your objectivity.In as much as we want to be nice and be diplomatic as Western Nigerians ,we must not make comments that next generations will hold us accountable with negative lens, when they discover the truth.Thanks Rufai for your analysis on Lagos.People also forgets that Western Region investments in Lagos surpassed and surpasses that of the Federal government even when Lagos was the capital of Nigeria.We should not also forget the kind gesture Lateef Jakande extended to the IGBOS by giving them Alaba and other vast lands for them to thrive .The lands were not bought by the IGBOS,Lagos state government gave them for free. Thank you Dr Abati about comments on marginalization ;it is the honest truth about marginalization.I like watching you guys and keep protecting the brand by telling the truth.
I am an Igbo man but Rufai excellently analyzed the issue.
I am a proud Igbo man, Igbos did not "create" any of the states he mentioned, But greatly helped these states and others to develop.
What help? , did they build road, sewage system shopping centres?
Shopping Centers
@obijonathan3530. God will send people to eastern region that will do same ‘ help/ develop ‘ that you’re doing in western region . 🙏🏽
U have sense…the great old man said igbos created every other state apart from any state in the East. Igbos are loved, stop the hate spread
Rufai is gradually losing it. 😂😂😂😂.
I’m proudly an Igbo man. Rufai just nailed it. My igbos elders please let’s choose our words carefully
Don't be scared to say it... Igbos made their hubs. Say it with your full chest. The biggest share holder Owens the company.
Rufai is as confused as the EFCC. We know our worth in Nigeria. 🙂
@imagesconcepts1979 Igbos made what hub? What do you own in lagos state asides the ghetto parts of lagos like ikotun, festac, ojo, ejigbo, alaba, where.you have all those local shops you own there and local houses. What do you own in the choice parts of lagos like victoria island and ikoyi etc. Absolutely nothing.
@buzzu4232 What is your worth in nigeria. Anambra your biggest and richest state cannot even generate 2 billion monthly as IGR and you are making noise. The monthly allocation you get to develope your state is generated by the south south and you come here to tear your big wide mouth.

How can one ethnic group claim to have developed Lagos when Lagos as a political entity predates Nigeria.
It's know as "Delusions of grandeur" .
Don't mind the revisionists!
When Lagos is still under regional government
Lagos keep developing so what is that man now saying 😢
Which ethnic group made that claim?
When u hear things lyk this man owns this company it simply means he owns a greater share than any other shareholders, which means the person in question has a higher contribution and risk at same time.
Igbos created Lagos? It appears most Igbos over estimate themselves with their arrogance of poverty. Some Igbos are descent and cool headed.Igbos did not create Lagos
Next thing Nigerian politicians will start to say if flooding can happen in Dubai..who are we to stop floods across Nigeria..😂😂😂
I love you guys
Dr Abatti, mrs Ojy, mrs Ayo,
Mr Rufai God bless you guys
AMEN TO THAT AND I ALSO TAP FRM IT
I thought they said charity begins from home, so igbos created lagos and couldnt replicated or stay back to develop east like Lagos? I guess the spirit of Igbos also earlier help ibadan (Yorubaland)too to became the largest city in west Africa long before another Yoruba land (lagos) continues to reflect the productivity of the Yoruba people. For igbo's information, they only added to the growth to lagos growth, just like rest Nigerian tribe, and create a thing. As a matter of fact, Yorubas as long been doing great things and front running the entire African continent before they all left their abandoned eastern dormain, and flocks to Lagos in drones for survival.
They even created the odua investment, free education, health of which they do not have. How could you give what you don’t have.

Hv you been to Anambra state,,then tell me any states in the south west apart Lagos everyone jointly developed you could compared with after all I've been to 6states that made up of SW
@@ChrisGozie As a Yoruba, I do not care about what goes on in Anambra state. All I see is million of Southeastern people coming with a night bus to live in SW. They have a plan and that is overpopulate the Yorubas like they do in Delta, River and Edo states. Igbos should not think they would be successful using the same trick in SW. Yorubas will surely protect their region against these practices.
They did the road , street lights and building of skyscrapers in the island. What a creation
Everywhere but the SE😂🤦🏽♂️
@OrimogunjeOluwaseyi
Aba now has 24/7 electricity. Onitsha, the largest market in West Africa. Innoson, the Toyota of Nigeria. The tycoons of Onitsha need permission from Abuja to build sky scappers which has always been denied but to build in Lagos, that's OK, see the new 5* hotel. Imo has the largest gas but pumped to the LGN of Ibadan.
Igbos have natural resources. Use your piss for that parasitic refinery.
@nnfefe9451 Congratulations! 🎉 I'm not about to engage you in a "my region is better than every other" discussion; it's a sign of low self-esteem/inferiority complex.Your submission indicates a fallacy of logic-Red herring. The subject was not the questionable arguments you submitted rather, the subject was that the Igbo of SE Nigeria, "created" other prosperous states.
Ps; A win for any subnational is a win for Nigeria 🇳🇬.
@@OrimogunjeOluwaseyiYou clinging to your useless one Nigeria is a direct acknowledgement of your inferiority complex. Why is that Igbos can build effortlessly like the recent 5 star hotel in Lagos but prevented from doing so in any 5 Eastern States unless approved from Abuja? Your inferiority complex is exemplified by your constant demolition of Igbo properties by virtue of 20 pounds capitalized to hero. Innoson would have built his industry in a large catchment area like Lagos but people of your mindset has made him build is his father's compound by virtue of your short sightedness. He is going to Aba but there a rumor that the Aba power would be restrained. There goes your one Nigeria. If you have a backbone let every tribe go their way and the problem created by Britain would solve but then you would use your urine for that parasitic refinery. You are also vexing against Air Peace to which division would handle that. The solution is obvious but being a leech needs a host.
Statements like this are what makes some people to view the Igbos with suspicion. Just that you are allowed to prosper in another man's land does not give you the temerity to insult them. These same people put all kinds of obstacles on the path of other tribes from thriving on their own soil. Is it that they don't ever consider the implication of comments like this to the ego of their hosts? The Igbo man must get some lessons in diplomacy.
Lagos is built on the capabilities of all Nigerians. The Eastern should stop claiming that "We created Lagos." The Igbos enjoy using the statement, which gives them the impression that if the Igbos are not a part of Nigeria, the country will not progress. All tribes in Nigeria are unique in their respective capacities, and each contributes their fair share to the country's growth. The marginalisation notion that the Easterns used to claim is one with which I disagree in the sense that there are other tribes that have not been to the corridor of power and have managed to survive. If this idea holds true, other marginalised tribes will rise up to put pressure on the state.
In nation building, one tribe does not form a nation; it is communal efforts that do.
Every country has differences; ours is not exceptional, and they are able to coexist.
Let us embrace our country's success, set aside all of these thoughts, and look forward to a better country.
Millions of Yoruba people are working 7 days a week, day and night in Europe, Americas ....... after 10s of 1000s of hours of post first degree studies, sending money to Lagos. Now one lousy person is insinuating the tireless Yoruba workers who are the payers to the Igbos mean nothing on their soil. What a people!
Hahaha. The investment of the Igbo's in Lagos may well be greater than what those who are working 7 days a week have in that state oh.

No more federalism and Abia has truncated that. Igbos have been prevented from building skyscrapers in their homelands except they get permission from Abuja. Resource control via the bull by the horn by Abia has ushered in 24/7 electric power with its abundant natural gas. Innoson who wisely avoided Lagos now has a base in Aba to expand. That guy who built the 5* hotel would eventually dismantle his building brick by brick to Aba. The wind of change is on its way.

Thank you Rufai for balancing the story of igbo making Lagos. I believe the ex governor of Enugu meant the contributions of the Igbos and not actually being the owner or maker.
Am sure an ex governor knows the difference between contribution and creation. Expecially when the debate has been in the public domain for a while.

I never expected it from them.
Why will someone ignorantly compare Igboho situation with Nnamdi kanu's plight...🤷♂️
Igboho's case is different from that of Kanu even though both are campaigning for the same thing.

Hello Arise TV Team, you didn't talk about the point Okwesilieze talked about first - the fact that Nnamdi Kanu is still in prison despite court judgement and fact that Igboho Sunday has been released.
Igboho is fighting the Fulani who was kidnapping and attacking the people from his ancestral land while Nnamdi Kanu was seeking for secession and took arms against Nigeria. They are not the same.
Nnamdi Kanu took up arms against Nigeria ???????. Have you been living in Nigeria or did you just drop down from Mars?

Brilliant and resplendent Ojy with another brilliantly presented programme. The equally elegant Ayo, Rufai and Dr Reuben Abati with a great analysis. Dr Okwesilieze is dead wrong. Unfortunately, everyone will love to think that they created Lagos however there was already a handful of indigenous people living in Lagos before the advent of various other tribes and nationalities who mainly ventured into Lagos for commercial reasons. Why the igbos should feel marginalised beats my imagination. They're allowed to settle and thrive in their businesses all over the country. Much more can be said for other tribes venturing into igbo lands. All tribes in Nigeria actually feel marginalised as postulated by Dr Abati. Congratulations to our two professors on their awards. Let's hope that they will use the funds for the right purposes to benefit particularly the Nigerian citizens rather than other foreign power. EFCC should do a thorough job on investigating Ganduje and El Rufai. They will find massive skeletons in their cupboards. If the government wants to test the law, let them begin the tests from their own ranks or amongst the politicians.

I think you're crazy Igbo create Lago's even your broke family how many of your family is doing well
Oga go and rest what do you know, empty head
My brother, these igbos are always igbo😂. There are many tribes in lagos, only them always feel entitled. The beating they receive during last election is a preample, they are writing letter for a bigger beating.
Nigeria should also investigate the Buhari administrarion's borrowings
As in ehh, e tire me
Why can't he be held and questioned for the debt and money printed without proper accounting
You can tell your papa to investigate him.....foolish boy
We have to investigate Tinubu first!
Okwesilzi do not remember that Sunday Igboho does not have any pending case in any court in Nigeria with government, in fact he was the one who took government to court and he won against government.
Igboho defended Yoruba farmers against Fulani herders killing them on their farm also kidnapping them on their farm land.
While Nnamdi Kanu instigate ESN against government security officials, and spread lots of fake news against Buhari and his government.
Even the blind and the deaf will not compare Igboho with Kanu atitude because they the two are different in what they do.
For Okwesilezi to compares Kanu with Igboho is a misplaced comparison, has he forgot that Kanu was standing trial before he jumped bail and ran away from Nigeria? We watch Kanu broadcast from UK against government of Nigeria if Okwesilezi doesn't, Igboho never did such against government of Nigeria.
Kanu give order from UK to his foot soldiers in Nigeria to kill security officials, can Okwesilezi dany that?
Very sound and valid points; you all are amazing in your analysis and comments
How igbo are been marginalized. They only play game of victims as to conquered others as their slave. I'm Yoruba first,before Nigeria.
Lagos success is a contribution of many tribes, Igbos were one the leaders in the creation and development of Lagos
You are a liar, where and when the igbos contirbute to the creation of lagos as a state and land.
100% right the igbos are numbered one
@@fatfarmers7360 you're now showing us you're real yoruba identity mugu😂😂😂
@@fatfarmers7360 you are too young and don't know history.
The Nigerian stock exchange, first in Africa was owned by Chief Louis Ojukwu. He was the first African billionaire, long before independence and he owned so many companies are transportation business that developed Lagos.
Lagos was capital of Nigeria and everyone was attracted to Lagos. The people of SS also developed Lagos.
The contributions of Igbo people to the economic activity of the Lagos is very enormous
@@anthonyokponku9673 Yet they cannot develop the SE
Its unfortunate that SE elders have poisoned a lot of their youths with wrong narratives about the problems they caused in Nigeria.
If Igbo created Lagos then the ibos should go and take over the kingship of Lagos and stop all this noose😂😂😂😂😂
Pls travel round Nigeria by self made igboland is far developed than any other Yorubas state accept Lagos. And if you can’t travel because your brother have made life hard for you and your people almost every Yorubas is on the streets crying hungry hungry
Ojy, of all that Dr. Nwodo said, the only thing you picked out was “Igbo created Lagos”. Another beef for city boy and his attack dogs.
I’m sure Dr. Abati will wax strong if not eloquent here because it’s his specialization.
Igbo didn’t create lagos.
The City boy and his gangs claimed to have also build lagos. Did heavens fall? Despite Late Obafemi Awolow great strides, and late Baba Kekere of blessed memory and his epoch giant strides, these two icons never claimed to have built it.
One incontrovertible fact is that Lagos is in Nigeria and in a Yoruba country. All these are indisputable. Dr. Nwodo was wrong there.
Igbo Created Lagos before we heard it was Benin? Wonders shall never end. All of you do not the driver that is driving you. Unserious sets of people!
Dr. Abati thanks on the insight about Dubai.
Thank you Dr. Abati
Igbos will continue to cry of marginalization bcos they way they play their politics.
In last election shows how lgbos behave in their myopic mind by voting OBI 99% and beat up any anyone in their land that want to vote TINUBUN whereas in Lagos Yoruba voted Obi and he won the popularity vote but Tinubu won more LG. If Igbos who are minority in Nigeria continues to play politics of regional, and ethnicity, they will continued to be marginalized
Igbo with five states and some of the people added to other states are minority? You clearly don't know what minority is.
Who were those who stopped Igbos and those who look like Igbo from voting in Lagos state? You guys always act like saints when you are the ones doing the most & terrible things. Did any Igbo stop your people from voting in any Igboland?
Keep playing the type of politics you are playing in Nigeria, you will keep getting the same & worse results.
You know how to play politics better and yet you have been dragging Nigeria backwards.
You are a fool
@@ijeomanjoku . You guys are the ones dragging Nigeria 🇳🇬 backwards and also refusing to leave for your country because you’re never satisfied and also aware that you cannot survive without other Nigerians. Onitsha market is the largest market in west Africa still you emptied the whole of your region to western region in the name of doing businesses. God will reward you guys accordingly to all your doing in western region.
Efcc should leave Cubana chief priest,arrest ibarahim babangida and former president Buhari
Useless people chasing useless course. IBB, Obasanjo, Jonathan , Buhari don’t have immunity but none has been asked questions about what they did with our wealth. Nig is a joke. I wonder if Bobrisky and Cubana were the reasons Lagos /Abeokuta express road is completely bad, power is almost zero in most parts, no AC works in our international airports , no International passport booklets at the immigration etc. we are simply not serious in Nig
Thank you Abati
Oji say "ah, na wa ooo!" 😂😂😂
Ibos created my hometown too in Kwara State. What a stupidity.
@taofiqowolabi. God will reward them accordingly cos they met people on ground doing businesses and living their lives when they arrived .
@@user-zm2ru1oc2x These Ibo leaders should stop aggravating people. The Ibos are creating enemies for themselves and then turn around saying they are marginalized. Stop insulting people on their home tuff.
Dr Nwodo is a fool for such statement.
u are the fool
Your father is a fool , if you could call such an elderly person a fool, you don’t have respect.
She really wanted to say ,Igbo created Nigeria.😮
Good point Ayo,
May God hasten this to come to pass in our time.
Where every Nigerian will first think about himself/herself as Nigerian before ethnic and religious consideration.
Igbos created everywhere, except their states. Inferiority complex and envy are dangerous.
Rufai i respect your indept knowledge on historical Nigeria.
How will one man be accused of 51 billion naira, just imagine,if Nigeria is a serious country such men should be hell not even prison....
Thank you all as always
Nigeria journalists are the major problem of Nigeria. Why picking only Lagos out of all the cities he mentioned? You pretend as if you don't know the context in which he mentioned those places.
What context could he be using that will justify saying Igbos created these places?
Are the journalist the major problem or people with your level of reasoning?
@@uknowamsayingThe context is that Igbo invested so much in those places. There is no way Igbo will create Kano, which has existed for more than 1000 years. Or other cities he mentioned.
So, the context must be applied. There is no tribe in Nigeria that can make the sacrifice and show love to other places to the extent of investing outside their region.
Even other Yorubas don't even invest in, Kogi, Benue, Taraba, Kaduna, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, or even Kwara State, which is owned by their brothers.
Most of you don't even know the heart of love that will make somebody invest in another man's land.
Nobody will wish or destroy where it invested. He will do everything to protect those places.
In other civilized countries. Igbo will be accorded all the privileges accorded to indigenes.
In Germany, when you invest 5 million dollars in their country, they grant you their citizenship; the same is true in many other civilized countries around the world.
In some of the Caribbean countries, if you invest as little as $350,000, they will automatically grant you citizenship.
We are happy when our tribal person is elected or appointed to any political post in Europe, America, Canada, etc., but we come back home to flare up when somebody makes an ordinary comment.
This is the reason other races call us M0nkeys because we turn everything upside down.
What context? He knew what he meant when he said Igbos created Lagos, Kano etc pathetic una no dey learn
Ayo, you're a sweet soul... your analysis on this Igbo issue is spot on 👌.
She's a fuul.
I love my Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani brothers and sisters, I’m happy to be a Nigerian because of all the different cultures in Nigeria. one love, we are all African and Nigerians, We should be proud of our differences and uniqueness. Yes Igbo contributes to everything Nigeria and we love y’all. Name is Adekunle by the way.
#Freebiafranow ..😇💫🙏
I am not an igbo but the igbos are the pillar of Nigeria economic. The igbos are too creative,
This is where educated people or tribe comes in
Yorubas don’t believe when someone says they are not Igbo man. The reality is you are destroying Yoruba economy. We pay you people all the time and you are not happy. They say Yorubas are envious but Yorubas keep giving them money. Go back to your biafra. We really don’t need you people
@@okasefa563 which money the money that come from the oil and gas money sharing allocation every month from their own land which economy the so called lagos seaport and Airport Nigeria government build in lagos in Nigeria igbo biafra tribe is the highest duty pay both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria, think about it
@@okasefa563 yoruba tribe and they land should stop taking oil and gas money sharing allocation because that money come from igbo biafra tribe land than you will see igbo biafra tribe people will go back to their God give land BIAFRA and yoruba tribe should stop blocking igbo biafra tribe land not to developed or built international Airport or seaport and other tribes close to igbo land
@@okasefa563 because the person is saying the best and reality he have seen in igbo biafra tribe people now you are upset poor you but you yoruba tribe always fool hausa fulani tribes and other tribes in the north and south south that you are the most educated people tribe in Nigeria yet yoruba tribe have not discovered or create or solve or produce or developed their own self land states region well having many yoruba people in the class room or school building is not the mark of been the most educated people or tribe instead it is what you create and discovered or produce or solve or developed for human use and services even it is fake till today there is nothing to write home about instead using it to fool and cover up where as yoruba land is still primitive and poor backwardnes in every thing in human life till today
Igbos did not create Lagos.
Awolowo industrialised Lagos beginning from ikeja
Inspiring! Great achievement for the researchers
Igbo did not only create Lagos, they created the world. Yeye people
Make an intelligent point.
Yeye comment. You sure lack emotional intelligence
Don't mind the revisionist!
Yes we did. Even the world
E pain am😅
You can develop the whole world but you cannot develop your own backyard or make it convenience for other people to be fighting to go and live there?
The delusion is real.
Atupa olojumerindinlogun ti ko le ri idi ara re.
God bless you Ayo
I dislike the notion when Ibos claim they are being marginalized. It feels like they're contradicting themselves by boasting about their success yet complaining about marginalization. Can they thrive all over Nigeria if you being hounded like dogs? Is it because Obi didn't become president? How many Ibo elites advocated for him? Abiola won an open ballot election and was killed, yet there was no outcry of marginalization. I campaigned for Obi in the Southwest, but once the election ended, Ibos monopolized the Obidient movement,Obi threw his Yoruba supporters under the bus. The other time Iwayanwu used the term "yoruba rascals" in a gathering where Pa Adebanjo, the head of Afenifere, and Obasanjo were present, prompting a rebuttal clarifying they weren't the targets. Couldn't he criticize the APC without involving all Yorubas? Moreover, there are many prominent Ibos in the APC. Nigeria's issues aren't exclusive to the Ibos; the pressure is felt more in the northern region, which has dominated the country's leadership.
Omo Dubai like Lagos 😢
My people also built Lagos, when a man has a over a hundred buildings in Lagos, that says something about the Ìgbómìnà please
@morounadebo. Igbominas are one of the Yoruba indigenous traders in Lagos island before ‘ came . Igbominas were major importers before ‘ . They’ll surely reap the Fruits of their labour concerning Lagos . Hmmmmmmmn 😔
Excuse me Mr. Okwesilieze try to talk from upstairs not downstairs. The Igbos created nothing but they have positive impact on business everywhere they go. The gentleman did not understand the meaning of to Create 😂
